Due

systems
(2000,

we
will

“Click”
means
left
click.
“Right
Click”
will
be
so
labeled.
8.
Some
computers
are
set
so
a
single
“click”
will
perform
the
task,
such
as
opening
a
window.
Depending
on
your
mouse
setting,
you
may
have
to
double
click
to
get
to
the
next
window.
If
a
single
click
does
not
open
the
next
window,
please
double
click.
